When you enable the 'block ping requests', etc feature, does this include all ICMP messages?

thanks in advance

Yes. It actually works the other way - if you tell it not to block requests, then it adds a firewall rule that will allow any ICMP packet. Otherwise, they are all dropped by the firewall.
